The exterior door handles :-
I just got a n/s/f door handle from the scrappy, could not get the colour I wanted, the problem with the old one is a studd has snapped and lock is all loose, but looking at the new one it looks like the mounting studds can be levered out and put into my original handle, this would save me painting the new handle. Is this possible ? Has anybody any tried this?
